We are very pleased to comment favourably on our experience with Mike Whelan of Drew Lindsay Sothebys Real Estate Bowral. Mike quickly understood our needs and resources as we sought a residential property after 35 years of farming. His own background as a farmer and wide experience across residential as well as rural real estate was invaluable as he led us on our property search. It was a long and arduous process, eased by Mike’s careful selection of stock from the Drew Lindsay SIR portfolio as well as some from other agencies, so much so that every property inspected presented as a very real prospect, saving us much time and many hours of travel. We were also impressed by the standard of his research and the information he was able to provide in answer to our questions. Nothing was a trouble at any hour. When it came to negotiate, Mike communicated clearly and navigated our need for a prolonged settlement and a sale for his vendor with skill and aplomb. Though unwavering in his commitment to the vendors, his firm encouragement and patience with us in our negotiations eased a difficult process. Following a successful settlement we have been appreciative of Mike’s attentive follow up as the inevitable questions have arisen, as well as the comprehensive property and local information kit he presented to us at handover. Drawing on his wide knowledge of the local farming scene he has also been very helpful to us as we sought agistment opportunities and help in the acquisition of livestock in preparation for continuity in our farming business albeit on a very much smaller scale. These “over and above” touches as well as his assured professionalism throughout have made the experience of a major move as smooth as possible and we have no hesitation in recommending Mike to vendors and purchasers alike, residential or rural, as an agent of choice in the Southern Highland Read More
